Mia Hamm was a scorer, a winner and a marketable icon that paved the way for women soccer players. Hamm was born three months before Title IX became effective on June 23, 1972. A generation later, she was the face of soccer in the U.S. Her popularity inspired many young girls to play the sport and gave older ones an opportunity to find a career.
